Import Tips
• Verify engine displacement and horsepower specs match declarations to avoid misclassification into automotive headings like 8408.20
• Provide EPA emissions certification for non-road engines to comply with U.S. import regulations
• Include detailed technical datasheets to confirm it's not for vehicle propulsion, preventing reclassification
